Hi R R

The entrance to our court yard was next to Edley's it contained ten houses back to back and only six toilets plus three toilets for the shops.

Keep safe.

Through the mist's of time I can just visualise the entrance which by looking at recent pictures must have been incorporated into the shop at some point.

I always thought the flat area behind that block of shops looked strange as if there had been houses there.

I worked at the Disk Jocky cafe many years ago and while the kitchen was upstairs there was some sort of (heavy) industry on the floor above.

There is no mention of who occupied any of the upstairs part of the building that included the cafe, factory archway and car spares.

 

Happy daze, out side toilets and tin baths.

Thanks for the additional information Yorky.

 

Keep safe.

HI Yorky

Hello Mick the area where the houses were or the back of where they were is the area where the 'Turtle' was.

I've a photo of the 'Turtle some where but I would have to delve into the attic for it. (scarey)

I cant believe there was room for 3 retail units No 90, 92, 94 on that spare land at the side of the pheasant

Hi Mick

They began demolishing the houses round about 1963 we were rehoused November 1961.

This is certainly how it looks on this 1953 map - there are two properties (presumably Nos. 90 and 92/94) between the Pheasant (shown as a public house 'PH' on the map) and Club Garden Walk.

On the first section of Club Garden Walk 2nd. building down from Cross Walk it was a blacksmith's as a child i

spent many  happy moments watching George shoe the horses he was only a small chap the cart horses dwarfed him when he placed the shoe on the horse's hoof the aroma was magic, on the 2nd. section of Club Garden Walk our milk man Tom Stokes stabled his horse the stable building is still there. Ha Happy Days. The archway leading to 2court the back of the arch is bricked up it is now  some sort of jeweller the courtyard is still there minus the houses.

 

Keep Safe

Thank you Hilsbrough.

obviously the corner shop Coombes the smaller unit and the draper occuping two units.

and just in view the houses of 'Court 2' including what must be the outside toilets.

Strange to see Leverton Street where the tower block is now built (1964/65)

I can remember the maisionett's being built better than I can the tower blocks for some reason.

 

This whole exchange is what Sheffield forum should be about.

 

Keep up the good work everybody.

Where's the large garage that was there on the corner of London Rd and Hill street? (just across from the blue arrow)

Looks like another building that had a shortish life span.

I can remember the original garage / workshop being pulled down late 60's early 70's and what was a petrol station built on the site.

Now a car sales.

I've had a look on goggle images and found nothing although I found a rather nice picture of TCHarrisons with new Mk 2 Consuls out side.

Do you think if I nip down now I can get one at the mark up price?
